Re: Estate
It is a good idea to get that living trust going but you should do it right away as there is a two year look-back period for Medi-Cal. If Medi-Cal wants to they can look back two years and claim that any deeds transferred within that time were fraudulently conveyed to avoid paying Medi-Cal. So do it right away, the sooner the better.
